CH-4 – Mean Frame Extractions – Part-3

Posted on Author Ali Imran Comment(0)

Important Note: This article is part of the series in which TechReport.us discusses the theory of Video Stream Matching.

4.3.1 Algorithm 1

The Mean frame extraction process serves a dual purpose, operating in both Source and Target Videos. The mechanism remains consistent for both cases, employing the same algorithm.

This algorithm (Algorithm 1) is designed to work with videos in AVI format, focusing on the fundamental task of extracting mean frames.

Input:

  • AVI Video

Output:

  • BMP Images stored on the hard disk

Working:

  1. The algorithm takes a video and stores its first and last frames as they are on the hard drive.
  2. A defined percentage of frames (10% in this system) is extracted from the video, referred to as temporary frames.
  3. The algorithm then processes each temporary frame, calculating its histogram.
  4. The comparison of histograms is conducted using the KS Test. If two frames have the same distribution, the second one is neglected; otherwise, the second temporary frame is saved as a mean frame.
  5. This process is repeated until all frames are treated.

Algorithm Steps:

  • Step 0: Start
  • Step 1: Input a video.
  • Step 2: Store the video on the hard disk.
  • Step 3: Set the total number of frames (NumOfFrame) and define the percentage of frames to skip (TempSkip = 10%).
  • Step 4: Loop for i = 1:TempSkip:NumOfFrame
  • Step 5: Extract temporary frames from the video.
  • Step 6: Store temporary frames on the hard disk.
  • Step 7: If the loop does not end, go to Step 4.
  • Step 9: Store the first frame of the video on the hard drive.
  • Step 10: Initialize CountMeanFrame = 0.
  • Step 11: Increment CountMeanFrame by 1.
  • Steps 12-20: Perform histogram calculations and KS Test for temporary frames.
  • Step 21: If the loop does not end, go to Step 13.
  • Step 22: Store the last frame on the hard disk and increment the counter.
  • Step 23: Store in the file the number of frames selected as mean frames and their names.
  • Step 24: Stop

CH-3 – Image Analysis – Part-2

Posted on Author Ali Imran

Descriptive statistics were developed to reduce the list of all the data items to a few simpler numbers. For example, the mean, median, high, low, and standard deviation. The cumulative fraction function displays how the data is distributed, with most data clustered on the left indicating a non-normal distribution. Scaling the x-axis, typically using a log scale for positive data, allows for better visualization. The KS-test computes the maximum vertical deviation between two datasets’ cumulative fraction curves, indicating differences in distribution.

The VSM architecture comprises three main components: loading target videos, loading source videos, and loading target images into the classification model. Users can load target videos, source videos, or target images for classification purposes. Each component serves a specific function within the system, facilitating the comparison and analysis of video streams. The architecture is designed to handle various types of input data, ensuring flexibility and adaptability for different applications requiring video stream matching.

CH-3 – Image Analysis – Part-3

Parametric data follows a specific distribution with consistent distances from the mean, while non-parametric data lacks a specific distribution. Mean frame histogram data, being non-parametric, employs the KS Test. Four features are chosen for extraction: Histogram, Edge, Slope, and Wavelets. Histogram feature extraction involves arranging data in columns and addressing the issue of identical mean values in different distributions by weighting the matrix with a column vector. This process ensures unique results, crucial for decision-making, as mean and variance pairs differ, offering valuable insights.
